Printing out to the console window in windows is bad for some reason, it can hang up depending on the console settings. See if hitting enter a few times in the console window allows it to continue. Why writing out to the console suspends the JVM every once in a while is beyond me (doesnt happen in a REAL shell). I think it has something to do with the 'quick edit' mode of the CMD program. (peice of crap..)
